ok

Answer 7

I can help! Do u want me to?

Answer 8

yes

Answer 9

Well plug in all of the coordinates into the equation given

Answer 10

help

Answer 11

Let's start with choice A.

We have (-3, -2), (0, -5), and (3, 2)

(-3, -2) -> x = -3 and y = -2
(0, -5) -> x = 0 and y = -5
(3, 2) -> x = 3 and y = 2

Let's start with the first coordinates, (-3, -2).
y = x - 5
-2 = -3 - 5
-2 = -8
Since -2 isn't equal to -8 we already know A isn't our answer choice

Answer 12

ok

Answer 13

Now onto choice B.

Choice B have (-3, -2) like choice A, so choice be would be or wouldn't be our answer choice?

@ineedhelpeeps I'll leave @sammixboo to help :) But first, I want to tell you, stop panicking, take a deep breath and relax, listen to who's helping you, and try try to work on it. You won't get far by just saying "i need help"

Answer 15

^u^

Answer 16

so c

Answer 17

Let's find out.

For C, we have (-3, -8), (0, -5), and (3, 2)

Let's plug in the first coordinate given, (-3, -8)

y = x - 5
-8 = -3 - 5

What is -3 - 5???

Answer 18

8

Answer 19

-8

Answer 20

Right! and -8 = -8. We need to keep on checking that C is our choice by plugging in our second coordinates given

So our second coordinates for C is (0, -5)

y = x - 5
-5 = 0 - 5

What is 0 - 5?

Answer 21

0

Answer 22

Not quite. Try again! 0 - 5

Answer 23

0 minus 5

Answer 24

Right

Answer 25

-5

Answer 26

Zero minus five = 0 - 5 which is?

Answer 27

Right! and -5 = -5

Now plug in the last coordinate given which is (3, 2)

y = x - 5
2 = 3 - 5

Answer 28

3 - 5 equals??

Answer 29

-2

Answer 30

And 2 doesn't equal -2 so it isn't our answer.

Let's look at D. We know that (-3, -8) and (0, -5) works, so can you tell me if (3, -2) works?

Answer 31

y = x - 5
-2 = 3 - 5

Does 3 - 5 equal -2?

Answer 32

If it does, then that is your answer

Answer 33

opps

Answer 34

its d

Answer 35

Right! 3 - 5 = -2 and -2 = -2!`
